Cosmopolitan Champagne Cocktail Reviews

We thought we would update the popular Cosmopolitan by substituting Champagne for the usual lemon vodka. We garnished the drinks with skewers of sugar-coated fresh cranberries (thawed frozen ones will work just fine, too).

Upon the
recommendation of
another reviewer, I
used pomegranate
juice instead of
cranberry. I also
used prosecco
instead of
champagne, and
skipped the sugar
entirely (it's
completely
unnecessary as the
juice and Grand
Marnier are plenty
sweet). It was
sensational. I
served it at a party
and it was a bit
hit--we couldn't
make enough of it.
For a party, I
recommend making a
base first; mix all
the ingredients in a
pitcher and
chill--top off with
champagne or
prosecco in a flute
at the last possible
moment. Sit back and collect the compliments.

Just served this last night to a big group of friends and it got rave reviews! I used pomegranate juice instead of cranberry, much richer flavor and color. Also only used half the amount of juice. The other half I used Pama - a pomegranite liqueur. That added a little kick! Also used more champagne. The recipe calls for 4 cups of champagne (32 oz.) and a bottle of champagne is only 25 ounces. I didn't want any to go to waste so I used both bottles in the punch.

Perhaps I didn't understand the
ingredients. I used bottled cranberry juice
cocktail. I thought it made the drink a little
watery. Next time I will use frozen
cranberry juice contentrate and only
partially dilute it so it will be more sryupy. I
may have to adjust the sugar. I will
experiment & see. That said, this is a
terrific drink and will become part of our
holiday menus.

Made it for a new year's eve party, sounded wonderful, but was very disappointed. Way too much cointreau, the pitcher sat there, very few people had any. Sounds like all the other reviewers loved it though. Oh well, guess I'll just stick with cosmos...

I have a fondness for Cosmos so this cocktail is staying in my recipe box. YUM! Instead of cranberry juice cocktail, I used straight cranberry juice and added the sugar, which made it just right for me. I don't like super sweet drinks. Take care and drink responsibly...this has a kick to it.
